M. Haude et al., ANALYSIS OF VESSEL WALL MORPHOLOGY, BLOOD-FLOW VELOCITY, AND THE HEMOSTATIC SYSTEM IN A PATIENT WITH A LARGE INTRACORONARY THROMBUS, Catheterization and cardiovascular diagnosis, 43(3), 1998, pp. 298-305
A patient with AMI caused by a large thrombus in the proximal LAD was
successfully treated with PTCA and an intracoronary lysis combined wit
h the platelet-receptor antagonist c7E3. Analysis oi cellular hemostas
is after 1 and 6 months revealed a sustained platelet activation despi
te combined anti-platelet therapy with ASB and ticlopidine. A progredi
ent slow-flow phenomenon appeared during central angiographies, confir
med by intracoronary Doppler examination. (C) 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
